BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

Methods for forming capacitors of semiconductor devices are disclosed, and more particularly, methods for forming capacitors are disclosed wherein the capacitors comprise a contact plug, a diffusion barrier film, a lower electrode formed of ruthenium (hereinafter, referred to as ‘Ru’), a dielectric film formed of high dielectric constant material and an upper electrode, and wherein the diffusion barrier film prevents diffusion of oxygen atoms during a deposition process and thermal treatment of the dielectric film to reduce degradation of characteristics of the device.

2. Description of the Related Art

A conventional diffusion barrier film is composed of TiN, TiAlN, TiSiN or TaSiN. A lower electrode composed of Ru or platinum is formed on the diffusion barrier film. A dielectric film is formed on the lower electrode using high dielectric constant materials such as BST or tantalum oxide film.

Here, the deposition process of dielectric film having high dielectric constant is carried out under oxygen atmosphere using a high thermal treatment method. As a result, oxygen atoms diffuse into the lower electrode and oxidize the diffusion barrier film.

In addition, when the lower electrode is composed of Ru film, molecular structure of Tris(2,4-octanedionato) ruthenium which is a source material must be broken down to allow the deposition of Ru film. Here, oxygen used as a reaction gas penetrates into the Ru film and diffuses through the lower electrode during the subsequent thermal process, thereby oxidizing a diffusion barrier film under the lower electrode. The oxidized diffusion barrier film degrades electrical characteristics of device.
